Lucas 3:9

Listen to Lucas 3:9
9 O machado já está posto à raiz das árvores, e toda árvore que não der bom fruto será cortada e lançada ao fogo”.

Lucas 3:9 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 3:9

And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees,
&c.] Not only to Jesse's family, which as a root in a dry ground, and to Jerusalem, the metropolis of the nation; but to the root of the vain boasting of every Jew; their descent from Abraham, the covenant made with him, their ecclesiastical state and civil polity, all which would quickly be at an end: the Romans were now among them, the axe in God's hand; by means of whom, utter ruin and destruction would be brought upon their nation, city, and temple:

every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down, and cast into the fire;
(See Gill on Matthew 3:10).

Lucas 3:9 In-Context

7 João dizia às multidões que saíam para serem batizadas por ele: “Raça de víboras! Quem deu a vocês a ideia de fugir da ira que se aproxima?
8 Deem frutos que mostrem o arrependimento. E não comecem a dizer a si mesmos: ‘Abraão é nosso pai’. Pois eu digo que destas pedras Deus pode fazer surgir filhos a Abraão.
9 O machado já está posto à raiz das árvores, e toda árvore que não der bom fruto será cortada e lançada ao fogo”.
10 “O que devemos fazer então?”, perguntavam as multidões.
11 João respondia: “Quem tem duas túnicas dê uma a quem não tem nenhuma; e quem tem comida faça o mesmo”.
